Nashville Fashion Week

Nashville Fashion Week (NFW), a citywide event typically held in March or April, is a celebration of Nashville, Tennessee's fashion and retail community featuring local, regional and national design talent in fashion events and shows.

Beginnings
Showcasing his Fall/Winter Collection in March 2011, Christian Siriano was the first major designer to headline Nashville Fashion Week (formerly Lexus Nashville Fashion Week) alongside fashion designer Betsey Johnson. The following year, a runway presentation featuring Versace was held at the historic Parthenon, a full-scale replica of the original Parthenon in Athens, Greece. Fashion designer Randi Rahm closed NFW 2012 showing her collection at The Pinnacle at Symphony Place.
